Teams would go to incredible lengths to have someone like Victor Wembanyama. On that note, the San Antonio Spurs can be considered the envy of the rest of the league, especially with Wemby seemingly hinting that he sees himself spending the rest of his NBA career with the team that welcomed him in the league.
At the very least, Wembanyama is loving the respectful environment in San Antonio.
“What I like most is the respect they show us. Sometimes I fell a little uncomfortable being placed on such a pedestal,” the three-time NBA blocks leader said following the Spurs' 123-85 win over the Golden State Warriors on Friday at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, via BasketNews.
“I think this is really the ideal environment because even in other cities, where we're not the home team, people aren't as respectful. People can be very persistent or intrusive sometimes, but never here, added Wembanyama.
The former NBA Rookie of the Year then shared something that should thrill every Spurs supporter.
“I'd say it's the ideal environment to spend 15 or 20 years,” Wembanyama said.

San Antonio didn't need Wembanyama to be a superhero in that contest, with Stephon Castle going off for 32 points on 12-for-18 shooting.
